So you look up everybody who you meet irl? I mean the way I'm reading this blog post is that the author had no idea. Personally I don't believe it, that's why I wouldn't accept the apology if I cared about this
You have to apologise for having been friends with and having received money from someone you didn't know was a pederast?
Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta.
Sure, and we should be able to criticise their choices... Especially since they pride themselves on giving the user choice, freedom, bla bla bla.
Sure. You can choose from a myriad of ad blockers, like in any other browser. Firefox Klar or AdGuard are free.
If I choose to install a certificate that is controlled by the government, yes, I definitely do want to give them access.
I'm glad to see the browser developers being proactive to help protect users from this kind of thing.
Maybe I'm the only one who's not glad that browsers aren't just browsers anymore? Now it could be argued that they are political tools.
It's slower, which is practically all I care about now that all browsers have the same extension API.
In addition, Firefox + ublokc origin is pretty much the only option on mobile if you want to block ads, unless you want to fiddle with hosts files or pi-holes or something.
On Android, Blokada, or any browser like Brave. On iOS, Safari has a builtin content filter.
You don't need admin access for anything. Without admin privileges I can install new software, sniff your passwords, encrypt your files, participate in a DDoS attack, mine Bitcoin...
It's fortunate I can buy an iphone for my mum and she hasn't had a single problem with it.
On the other hand I bought my dad a laptop with Windows and despite having an antivirus he's had all kinds of problems with it, including some heavy duty adware.
That doesn't look like fire to me.
Has the fire spilled over other country?
we are all responsible, it's not Brazil's responsibility, it's World's responsibility to take care of nature.
Eh, no. The part of the Amazon that is in Brazil belongs to Brazil.
